Good morning all. A dull grey start here.
A walk in the park, and domestics.
Have a good day all.

Mornin n’alln’all
Frosty start here too.Looks like the magnolia tree has been hit by it

OH is starting to feel better thank goodness.
It’s one thing asking him to sneak eat away from me whilst I’m dieting, but having to go and make him food whilst he’s ill and then walk away has taken some determination!

Snadge- I lost 6lbs last week. I was hoping for more but I’m very pleased with that!
Going to try again for one more week, but I’m struggling by mid afternoon tbh. I’ll play it by ear.

Thanks for the Smiles Snoop - always appreciated.

Morning All,

Lovely day here again today. I always think when the weather is nice, the day seems much more manageable.

New project starts today - operation "create an outside seating area for when we can have people in the garden again"

Got a good couple of hours weeding in yesterday. I'm sure the fresh air makes me feel better even if my back is complaining today.
Had a window visit today with one of the in-laws who is in respite care in a care home. I don't know if she even wants to go home with lockdown still in place. She is like a different person.
Just called at the supermarket and got some dried apricots and chicken among other things. Yesterday my husband was watching Rick Stein in India on TV and fancies his chicken and apricot curry so I've found the recipe online and I'll be attempting it later.

^That sounds nice, GF. Got all the ingredients in the house. I'll add it to the list of things to cook when Mr Snoop can eat it. Currently suffering with a mouth infection and is on a mainly liquid (but no alcohol) diet. Poor man.

Morning All,

Very early start this morning but it meant i got to see the sunrise on my drive into work which was nice.

Moved a Myrtle bush in the garden last night, fingers crossed it handles the move ok...

I did find something very interesting. i dug down about 1ft, and found a weed mat, after slicing through it, i discovered loads of large rocks - rubble if you will, with absolutely no soil around them at all. like they had been put in as a very crude drain or levelling agent (as we are about 1m higher than our neighbour)

Good Morning P and All Chilly but fine, though very grey out there. Have a good day All

Heavier frost here with mist this morning...and now the sun is shining .
Gardening later when it warms up a tad more!

OH is back to normal today, but what a weekend!...he’s never ill so I think it was a shock to him tbh!

gf...good to hear your in law is doing ok . Quality of life both physically and mentally is so important for all of us. x

Best go and get the washing machine earning its living!..see ya later peeps- enjoy your day!

That is an odd find. Why the weed mat as well? To stop triffids coming up from the deep...?

Anyway, just about on top of things today. And tonight will be the last chilly night of this cold spell too. Managed to do a bit of weeding yesterday, but not much. Plenty more to go. But manageable. Bit more today with a load more work to make life easier from tomorrow onwards.

Have a great day. The bag of smiles is even wrigglier. They'll be bursting out soon so definitely take more and spread them about in true Rary style.

Try miso soup. Only about 9 calories in a tsp of miso and it's so savoury, it feels like you've had something proper to eat.

[Nicos]

Ok...thanks for the tip!

I now need to put it on my shopping list

[Mr Bones]

Morning all. Late start today, still in bed drinking tea (mint) and looking at me phone.
